Abstract
An RFID tag housing is disclosed. The housing can include a tag holder, which holds an RFID tag, and an attachment arrangement for attaching the housing to a receptacle. The attachment arrangement may also prevent rotation about a frame member of the receptacle to which the housing is attached. The housing can hold an RFID tag at a spacing above the receptacle's framework, allowing the tag to be read over the top of the receptacle and its contents, as well as other receptacles positioned nearby. This spacing can also allow use of the framework as a ground plane for the RFID tag antenna.
